Why convalescent care in a retirement home?

Retirement homes in London are specially equipped for short stays. Here’s a look at reasons why this is a great idea: 

Assistance is a call bell away. Retirement homes equip seniors with the ability to call for help. Staff is there to assist. That will certainly include support workers, may include nursing staff (consult the listings above for staffing), or even a doctor on call. That makes it much easier on your family members, and you won’t be tempted to try to help yourself until you’ve recovered.

Housework and meal preparation are not a factor. Neither you nor your family will need to worry about cooking or cleaning.  Meals can be included as part of the service and staff will take care of the linen and other housekeeping. All you need to do is get better. 

Experience senior living firsthand. Retirement homes today are not your grandmother’s nursing homes. You’ll be surprised at how lively communities are and how much fun people have inside the walls of a contemporary senior living community. There are activities every day, and you may be able to participate in amenities like swimming pools, movie theatres, and more. Having peers around will also lift your spirits. You might even recover faster! 

Other kinds of short stays in a London retirement home

Trial stays give seniors an inside perspective. Most communities recommend a two-week stay, while a one-week stay is also okay. Try it! You’ll find it eye-opening

Respite care stays are ideal for families that qualify. Under Ontario law, caregivers can take a break for up to 60 days at a time, to a maximum of 90 days in any calendar year. If your loved one has dementia or otherwise requires dedicated care, you may qualify. Learn more about this from ontario.ca.

Guest stays allow family members or friends to stay in a retirement home. It’s ideal for people visiting from out of town who want to see a loved one easily, allowing them to participate in the community.
